Classic car show on Sunday at Kansas City Art Institute

Fairway resident Bill Alexander will be showcasing the Riley Imp at the Art of the Car Concours auto expo. The 1935 racer cribs more than a few design and mechanical elements from era’s dominant performance automotive brand, Alfa Romeo. Riley wrought the Imp’s legacy early with a successful showing at the 1934 race in Le Mans, France.
